Angular 17 recently came out with several exciting updates.it has an exciting new feature called deferred loading
Lazy loading is a method that helps web apps load things like scripts only when necessary. Instead of loading everything at the start, it waits to load less important stuff until the user does something like interacting with the page or scrolling to a certain point.
Lazy loading improves the user experience by making the initial page load faster. This means users can begin using the app sooner while the less important parts load quietly in the background. It also decreases the amount of internet data needed and eases the strain on the server.
In earlier versions of Angular, we were able to load a specific part of the application later using the Router, or by using dynamic imports along with ngComponentOutlet.
Angular17 now has a @defer control block enabling lazy-loading of the content of the block. Lazy-loading also applies to the dependencies of the content of the block: all the components, directives and pipes will be lazy-loaded, too.
I will demonstrate the key aspects of lazy loading in Angular 17, such as
- Using @defer with a logical expression
- Using @defer with a declarative trigger condition
